Python-fortran-tool

This set of tools is primarily designed to be applied on the PHYEX repository. But they are normally generic enough to be used in other contexts.

The tools can be used with the command line (the pyft_tool.py utility can be found in the bin directory) or as a python package (src/pyft directory). The documentation is in the doc directory and some examples are in the examples directory.

The fxtran binary is needed to use pyft. You can:

• use an existing installation and make sure it can be found using your PATH variable;
• use an existing installation providing the exact path with the '--parser' option;
• automatically install fxtran using the INSTALL.sh script (in the bin directory)

To use the python package or the pfpt_tool.py command line tool, you must source the env.sh file (in the bin directory). E.g. '. \<path to the current directory>/bin/env.sh'.

Prerequisites:

• an internet connexion (with access to the github servers) is needed only for the installation of fxtran
• python > 3.8 (but only tested with version 3.10)
• a C compiler (tested with cc 11.4.0)
• some classical unix tools: make and git

Quick Start Guide:

• open a terminal on a system satisfying the prerequisites and enter the following commands
• if you don't have a github ssh key or don't know what it is:

  git clone https://github.com/UMR-CNRM/pyft.git
  ./pyft/bin/INSTALL.sh

• if you have a github ssh key:

  git clone git@github.com:UMR-CNRM/pyft.git
  ./pyft/bin/INSTALL.sh --ssh
